    I am in pain.

    It's been a 7 year battle against porn. I've had multiple month long streaks. My wet dreams are getting more basic and realistic, and my depression is fading.

    However, I am in a lot of emotional pain. Porn is like picking at a mental scab. Instead of letting myself heal and be natural, I kept running from my issues, pains and problems.

    Now with no porn coping mechanisms, painful memories are coming like bullets to my heart. All of a sudden something will emotionally hit me and I will get short of breath and have to lay down. The pain is so deep and hurtful and succinct.

    I wasn't strong enough as a child to handle that pain. Now as an adult, I've finally developed the ability to handle it. Even though the pain is great, every flashback I release gives me more peace of mind in the present moment.
